RE: Approve Professional Services Agreement with Strand Associates, Inc.
(Strand) for Engineering Design Services for Osborn Avenue
Rehabilitation ($95,000)
BACKGROUND
As a part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, funding is being routed through the State
to disseminate for projects. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT)
has asked local governments to review existing local program project opportunities. At
this time, the exact funding is unknown, but planning estimates show the increase in
funding to be significant. The 2022 funding application deadline is scheduled for April
1, 2022. In turn, Plans, Specifications, and Estimates must be completed and have a
project ready to bid by August 1, 2022.
The Department of Public Works requested a proposal from Strand for assistance with
engineering design services for the rehabilitation of Osborn Avenue. The services to be
provided will include preparation of design reports; environmental documentation;
agency communication; utility communication; public involvement services; surveys;
preparation of road drawings; meeting participation; and preparation of Wisconsin
Department of Transportation plans, specifications, and estimates.
ANALYSIS
Strand was chosen for these services due to their staff familiarity with the City of
Oshkosh and WisDOT, and their availability to complete this Project on very tight
deadlines.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of these services is estimated not to exceed $95,000 and will be funded through
Street CIP projects which have come in under budget and will be charged to Account

RECOMMENDATIONS
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh (Code) provides that professional
services of a specialized nature, including engineering services, may be procured
without the use of formal, sealed quotes. I have reviewed this agreement and in
accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby recommending that the
Common Council approve the award of this professional services agreement.
Approved,
John Fitzpatrick
Assistant City Manager
